Default 205 or 195 tires????

im wondering which one looks and performs best on 2000gsr rims. i have 205/55/15 on the front and 195/55/15 on the back now. and i need to replace the front from camber wear. wouldnt 205 reduce camber wear slightly and get more grip compared to 195. also 195 does look cleaner since they dont bulge out the sides at all. give me advice!

also post some links to websites where i can find cheap camber kits and cheap shocks.

205 also have a slightly larger sidewall then the 195's
if your not doing much to your car then get the 195's they will probably be cheaper

camber kits depend on how large a drop you have and how much range in camber change you would like

With the sidewall of the 205 being larger making its diameter larger they should be in the back. I'm not 100% sure on this but have been told several times that the larger tire should always be in the rare. Since you need to replace the 205's I would go with 195's just so that you have the same size tire on there. Also in my area for safety inspection purposes they need to be all the same size to pass.

I have 195/55/15 Kuhmo Ecsta Supras and I love them. No problems so far after about 5K miles.
